Joint Injections

At Compass Pain and Wellness, joint injections are a minimally invasive, low-risk treatment designed to deliver medication directly to the source of pain or inflammation. These injections are commonly used to address joint pain caused by injury, arthritis, or chronic conditions, helping patients regain mobility and improve their quality of life. Ultrasound guidance is used during the procedure to improve accuracy and enhance the likelihood of injection success.

Depending on individual needs, joint injections may include corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, anesthetics to numb pain, or other therapeutic substances to support joint health. By targeting pain at its source, this therapy can offer significant relief, improve function, and support long-term recovery. Results often last from weeks to months, depending on the condition and type of injection. 

Joint injections are often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, working alongside therapies like physical therapy to reduce pain and inflammation, making it easier for patients to engage in strengthening and mobility exercises effectively.

Our physicians carefully assess each patient’s symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to determine if this approach is the right fit for their care plan.
